Amber Glenn lost major points in her short program routine on Tuesday after she failed to do one of her jumps. She fell to 13th place after the first round of the competition after she has been a medal-favorite at the Milan Cortina Olympics.
The failed jump was supposed to be a triple loop, but her takeoff wasn’t right, and she settled for a double loop. The judges gave her a zero in that category for an “invalid element.” She was required to do a triple jump at this point in her routine.
